It has now been 2 weeks since that awkward kiss between me and Mark and I am starting to think that in another few weeks, I'm going to tell him how I feel. Phil promised me that he wouldn't tell him and told him to give me some space for about 4-5 weeks, which, Phil came over and said that Mark was okay about leaving me alone for that long. I did feel a bit sad about this, but I just need to get some time alone with my family and new friends. There was no school this week as there was a fire at our school and the firemen were fixing it up with some help by other people. Me, Courtney, Hannah, Katie and Penny were at the park. Olivia hasn't spoken to any of them since, they became my friends because they found out that Dan Howell was my father.
"So, how did Dan meet your mother?" Courtney asks me.
"It was at a bar. It was my friends-mothers 20th birthday," I say.
"Mark's mother? Who is married to Phil Lester?" Hannah asks.
"Yeah. Lucy. Just turned 20. Her and Phil are 8 years apart from each other, but their love is good. Anyway. Lucy asked my mother was there anyone in the bar who she would have a one night stand with and my mum said not, but then my dad came over to them and started talking. Lucy said to my mum that they should have a night stand and my parents just felt awkward. Lucy leaves them to get to know each other. And I guess my parents got really drunk so they slept together. They started dating a few weeks later and 8 weeks later, she found out she was pregnant with me and Ethan," I say.
"That is so cute! I love that story," Katie says.
"Yeah. When me and Ethan were nearly 7 and our little sister was 5 months old, we found out that our dad actually has another daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Carla, when they were 18. She broke up with him because of it," I say.
"Wow! 3 daughters. I thought that Dan only want 2 or 3 children," Penny asks.
"He did. But he never knew that he and Carla were expecting because they broke up, but she looks so much like him and they bonded really well. I bonded with her too. She moved in with us because Carla was dying from an illness and she didn't want to stay with her mothers boyfriend as he was mean to her. Carla sadly passed away, with an unknown illness. I met her a few times and she was really nice. Beautiful golden hair and bright blue eyes, Carla had. Anyway, my half sisters name is Phoebe," I say.
"Phoebe? As in Phoebe from Friends?" Courtney asks.
"Yeah. Carla told me she loved that show and love the name Phoebe so much that she named her Phoebe," I say.
"How old is Phoebe?" Hannah asks.
"21 years old now," I say.
"Oh. Has she got any children of her own?" Katie asks.
"Yeah. She has a son called Peter, who just turned one," I say.
We had a good chat until we all had to go home to have our dinners.
